Hate mail

I'm grateful to the law of the land which comes between me and what I would like to do to these people.
1. The fight of the century has just gone by between Mayweather and Pacquaio and like everyone else who missed the fight, I start searching for highlights online. I look for reasonably long duration videos. I land up on a video titled 'Mayweather vs Pacquaio full fight highlights May 2, 2015'. Very promising indeed at a duration of 51:25 minutes. But no, it turns out to be a video of the dude in the pic shooting himself watching TV while waiting for the fight. Note - it's not a video of the fight. It's not a home video of the fight showing live on TV. It's not a video of the dude watching the live fight on TV. It's a video of the dude watching some random crap on TV before the fight. And uploading this as a video of the fight. Why? Why?

2.  I read about Messi's spectacular goal against Atletico Madrid. Not too much into league football but something like this makes you get on to youtube. Guess what, there's a video titled Messi goal against Atletico Madrid, with the date. What could go wrong from here? I click it and am immediately subjected to really poor graphic design (in pic). So this was a dude who was playing soccer in PS-2, probably a 200 kg fat slob who last saw sunlight in 1995, who thought it was important to upload his PS-2 crap on youtube. Why not? I could watch recordings of other people's body of work on their PS-2s, all day. And he uploads it under a false title that would make people watch it. For about 2 seconds i.e., before cursing him, maybe leaving a nasty comment about his women relatives. Why? Why?
